Thanks for the response , I have passed the keytb file in shell action section of workflow that solved the issue.     Workflow.xml <file>${keytabaccount}#${keytabaccount}</file>   In script :   kinit ${keytabaccount}@xxx.xxx.com-k -t ${keytabaccount}.keytab   The above approach resolved the problem, Where i can access hive tables in shell script through hive2 beeline.   Thanks ...
